And just to clarify, Ben Aaronovitch is also a noted writer for Doctor Who. He wrote the acclaimed Remembrance of the Daleks, as well as the less-acclaimed but still interesting Battlefield. He also wrote several books for the New Adventures: Transit, The Also People, and So Vile a Sin (the latter with Kate Orman).

Yo, Chris.Ph, I've asked you before, but you've never answered, would I like the Rivers of London series? I mean, having read two of his Doctor Who books, I find his output a little variable, so would I like it?

*I* really enjoyed it. It's certainly better, in my opinion, than the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher which I just couldn't get in to. It's contemporary, yet has echos of tradition and the past. Would you enjoy it? I have no idea

I think the Author prefers it anyway . The Doctor Who stuff paid peanuts and he worked in Waterstones to get by . The Peter Grant books are a lot better than his Doctor Who stuff by all acounts
